While it is often argued that allocation decisions can be best expressed in terms of exposure to rewarded risk factors, as opposed to somewhat arbitrary asset class decompositions, the practical implications of this paradigm shift for the optimal design of the policy portfolio still remain...

Starting from the requirement that risk measures of financial portfolios should be based on their losses, not their gains, we define the notion of loss-based risk measure and study the properties of this class of risk measures. We characterize loss-based risk measures by a representation theorem...

We propose a method for constructing an arbitrage-free multi-asset pricing model which is consistent with a set of observed single- and multi-asset derivative prices. The pricing model is constructed as a random mixture of N reference models, where the distribution of mixture weights is obtained...
